So The Last Exorcism followed up Piranha 3-D to make a double play of excellent horror at the end of August. We decided to celebrate the only way we know how – with scantily clad ladies. What’s the common thread in horror movies, besides people getting murderized? Hot girls, of course. Sex and violence prime the deepest roots of our brain, so it’s natural they’d go together well. In this gallery, 20 of the most bodacious babes to ever star in horror flicks.
Let’s lead with the bodacious Kelly Brook, who lit up the screen (and made it a little redder) in Piranha 3-D the same month she was announced as a Playboy cover model. That’s two things to cross off your bucket list.
In addition to playing vamp stabber Buffy, Sarah Michelle Gellar also starred in I Know What You Did Last Summer and the American remake of The Grudge.
Radha Mitchell was great in this year’s The Crazies, maybe the best George Romero remake to date.
You have to be down with scary stuff to marry Rob Zombie, let alone act in his films, so Sheri Moon Zombie for sure earned a spot on this list.
Shannon Elizabeth has one of the more embarrassing death scenes on this list (murdered in the shower by a living snowman in Jack Frost), but I’m sure she can get over it.
Here’s a new face – British-born Emily Booth was in one of the fake Grindhouse trailers, but this brunette hottie has a slavering thirst for the horror genre, with lots of fun B-grade slashers under her belt.
Ali Larter may have made her bones on Heroes, but I’ll always remember her from the first Final Destination, a true classic in the “teenagers dying” genre.
Okay, so I don’t watch One Tree Hill. There’s only so many hours in the day! But Sophia Bush was great in the remake of The Hitcher, and she’s lethally hot, so here we go.
Most of the ladies on this list are victims, but Shawnee Smith flips the script in the Saw series as Amanda Young, apprentice to the demonic serial killer Jigsaw.
Rose McGowan is an actress made for horror films, with her dusky eyes and impressive decolletage. She was in the first Scream as well as the awesome Planet Terror.
Before Jessica Biel got all A-list, she was entertainingly trashy (and smoking hot) in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake.
Look at Jordan Ladd here, all smiles. It seems like only yesterday we were watching her skin rot off in Cabin Fever!
Odette Yustman was pretty much the greatest thing about The Unborn. She’s pretty great.
Sarah Polley was great in the Dawn of the Dead remake, as well as this year’s creep-o “science gone wrong” pic Splice.
I know what Jennifer Love Hewitt did last summer – thankfully broke up with Jamie Kennedy.
The gorgeous Monica Keena made her horror debut in Freddy Vs. Jason, but she’s soon to star in the remake ofNight Of The Demons.
Asia Argento is horror royalty – the daughter of legendary Italian director Dario Argento, this gorgeous girl has starred in dozens of movies, notably Land Of The Dead.
Hopping into the Wayback Machine for Kari Wuhrer, who not only played Swamp Thing’s girlfriend but was also in Eight Legged Freaks. That’s a resume!
Kate Beckinsale seems to be done with the Underworld series, and the world is poorer for their loss.
Emily Blunt looked great in period clothes in The Wolfman. Plus she’s married to the dude from The Office. No, not Dwight.
